MEMPHIs, Tenn, Oct -, 1887
The Portland daily press., 1887-10-21

The Rev. DIR. Fem is reported to have
said in the course of discourse before the
Cumberland conference of Congregational
churches that "our newspapers are the bulle-
tins of crime" If he meant by that simply
that newspapers contain statements of
crime, then we have no criticism to offer.
But if he meant that the newspapers are
only bulletins Of crime, or that accounts of
crimes folm a large part of their contents,
then we say that his remark was unjust 1t
is doubtless true that some newspapers are
largely devoted to criminal matters; and had
he said that some newspapers, or many news
papers, are but bulletins of crime, we should
have taken no exception, unless it were to
the selection of the word bulletin, which
means brief statement, to describe column
after column of minute criminal details.
But that newspapers as rule are nothing
but puryeyors Of crimes and scandals is not
true. We know it has become the fash
ion of the pulpit to thus proclaim
them, just as it has become the fash
ion of irreligiOus men to proclaim the
pulpit sensational and insincere. The meth
cd of arriving at these conclusions is the
same in both cases-the illogical method of
deducing general conclusions from particu-
lar cases. The clergyman knows some
newspaper which is bad and he jumps to the
conclusion that all are bad. The irreligious
man knows some clergyman who has turned
out to be wolf in sleeps clothing, and he
concludes that the only difference between
him and others is that this one has been
stripped Of his disguise. AS matter of
fact the great majority of newspapers are nei-
Their immoral nor sensational. and when the
greediness Of the popular appetite for sensa-
lions is considered, the fact that they are gen.
orally clean and truthful speaks volumes for
the rightmindedness of their publishers.

Senator Frye In his address to the Home
Market Club In Boston took the ground that
what was needed was an increase of duties
rather than decrease. 81 want" said he,
''to see duties put on wooden goods that will
prevent $44,000OO0 worth of goods being
brought into this country. want to see
duty put on manufactures Of iron and steel
that will prevent $49O00,0Oo being brought
into this country. If these gentlemen will
undertake a revision Of the tariff, and do it
honestly and fairly,-decrease duties where
il is apparent they ought to be decreased
because they afford more than protection
enough, increasing them where it can be
made perfectly plain that they do not protect
American manufactures and American
labor, then l will go in for the revision of
the tariff. But am not for that revision in
the hands Of its enemies which proposes to
cut down everything just so far as it can be-
cut down" Mr.. Frye would dispose of the
surplus by putting s10,oOO,oOo year into
subvention Of American steamers and ships,
slo,000,00O or s12.00o.Ooo into Notifications,
and II that did not settle the surplus he
would set 100000 men digging the Nicara-
qua canal and let the government own it.
He would repeal all the internal revenue

The question of Sunday observance has
been brought to the front in New York by
convention of Germans recently held, which
declared against the excise law;that shuts up
the Saloons on Sunday. An outgrowth of
this convention is the Personal Liberty
League, made up chiefly of liquor sellers,
who are pledged to vote against any candi-
date for the Legislature who is opposed to
the repeal of the excise laws. 1t is estimat-
ed that in the two cities of New York and
Brooklyn these leagues number $4,000 voters,
and in the other large cities of the State
they are quite strong. On the Sunday pre-
ceding the election formal meetings are to be
held in every ward in the cities where these
leagues exist to receive and pass the word for
whom to vote. The movement has become
so formidable that the clergy In the large
cities have felt it necessary to call meetings
to organize to defeat it. Such meetings have
been held at Buffalo, Albany and New York
aud the interest manifested in them and the
earnestness of the speakers Enthusiastically
indicate that the Personal Liberty movement
Is strong enough to give good deal Of
anxiety.

On October 9th Mr.. William J. Reed, rep
resentatiye in the New Hampshire Legisla-
ture from Westmoreland testified that he
was told in the office of w. A. Baker. Bos-
ton broker, that he could have 5000 for vot,
Ing with the Boston & Maine people for the
Hazen bill Baker then declared that he
was "a second for Charles A. Sinclair, and
that he (ljsker) had before done such work
for Sinclair and Jones. At Concord last
Wednesday night, Charles e. Wooley, of
Boston, testified: Il was in the Office Of W.
A. Baker, Boston broker, with Repre-
sentative Reed, of Westmoreland Baker
told Reed that the latter could get
from thousand to five thousand for his
vote and influence on the Hazen bill. He
said Chas. A. Sinclair was the man to get
the money. Reed declined" Here seems to
be direct and corrobative testimony of bri-
berry such as has been brought forward in
the case of no other New Hampshire legisla-
tor who has accused members Of the lobby
Of improper methods.

1t Is worth noting that the in aceuracles which
have been detected In young STAINS alleged reYe-
steries that have been filtered through other
channels. His confession, made through a New
YORK Weird reporter, was very different docu-
ment from the plain statement IN his own Ian
guage which he has signed since And the long
story OF the elder Stains crimes by Deputy Sheriff
Mltchen, which sent all the reporters to Medheld
~ snunk expeditions, IS recitation at second

Ds sworn evidence in open courts is what is to be

Is where the case ends for the present-Boston

The appointment Of Sir Charles Upper to
the fisheries commission may seem to Ameri-
can eyes strange in face Of the fact that he
has but just been removed from his seat in
Parliament for bribery 10 his election. But
the Canadian law relating to bribery at cleo
lions is such that member of Parliament
may be unseated, even when the bribing is
done by irresponsible agents and without
any proved knowledge of the transaction by
the principal. 1t has been sometimes
charged that INSCRIPTIONS men, really
agents OF one ef-didate, act dishonesty as
agents Of the other In order that their cor
rupt practices may unseat him in case he is
successful No rAseality of this sort has
ever been proved, however Sir Charles
Upper has once before been the victim of
INSCRIPTIONS agents, put that time the Do
minion Parliament saved him by an act
which the "Grts" have al ways called since
a embarrassing act"

The Boston Globes Dexter reporter tele-
graphs his paper that in the absence of Sher
Id Mitchell the management of the Stain
case has devolyed entirely on him. He also
says that Attorney General Baker expresses
the opinion that there is plenty of evidence
to convict the prisoners, and that Cromwell
can expect no clemency even If he does turn
informer. He has also obtained an interior
view Of Stains MUD, and is able to inform
the public precisely what Stain is thinking
about. We regret to say, however, that the
reporters idea Of the time people make hay
shows no signs Of clearing. He still talks
about hauling in hay on the 22nd Of Feb

European diplomacy does not seem to have
improved its methods, SO far as honesty is
concerned, in the last century. The stealing
OF Katkoff's letter by the German ambassa-
dor at St. Petersburg recalls the perform
ance of the British Ambassador Elliott, at
the court of Berlin, in 1777. At the cost Of
thousand guineas he hired burglar to steal
the papers of Arthur Lee, then envoy from
the American colonies. Frederick the Great
was then King Of Prussia, and this is the
Judgment which he pronounced on Elliott:
1T is a case of public theft, and he should be
forbidden the court. In truth the
English ought to blush for shame at sending
such ministers to foreign courts" Perhaps
the interruptions diplomacy of Russia has
reconciled the German Court to methods
which seemed to the Great Frederick utterly
dishonorable when employed against the
honest and unsuspecting American envoy.
